Starling Bank Current account reviews (27453)

Simple, modern banking

Love it, from the easy apply process to the spaces to help manage money and savings. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Banking how it should be

Clear, simple and efficient. Other banks seem stuck in the dark ages compared to Starling Bank. They make banking fun and easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Reliable, flexible and user friendly

I LOVE Starling! I really value being able to categorise my spending into different areas so I can keep track of spending, ring-fencing funds for bills in dedicated 'spaces' and also having 'spaces' to save for specific items. It is convenient to be able to pay in / withdraw money at the post office, and to photograph a cheque from home. When I have contacted customer services the response has been informed and efficient. I highly recommend Starling. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

21st century banking - as it should be

I was skeptical about Starking, but I needed a simple addition to my 'traditional' bricks and mortar bank. I'm aiming to switch all my banking to Starling as soon as I can, because it's genuinely all the things you need from a bank, but reimagined without the clutter, the hassle and the usual air of fear and reverence. Saving spaces, ridiculously straightforward bill management, and more, all without the delay, the clunky infrastructure, and the endless complication of traditional banks. By re-thinking bank accounts from the ground up, Starling has positioned itself as the new bank to beat. And good luck with that! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

I love Starling, why can't all online banking be this good?

Easy to use, would definitely recommend to my friends and family. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Fantastic festuess

I love the features offered by Starling. They are user friendly and actually helpful! Also it’s great to have a bank that seems to be putting customers first rather than dodgy dealing and unethical investments. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent game changer to banking convieniently

Starling has augmented my banking life with long time banking choice HSBC. It's to the point now that most of my funds occur via Starling; including KITE which has been great for my sub 16 little one in her tween years. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

I love this bank!

The app is awesome, everything is made as easy as possible for users. I feel the bank is responsive to customers. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Total control

Peace of mind, knowing that you have full control of your card. Especially when worried about using dodgy cash machines when travelling. I just lock everything and open when needed. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simply Excellent

So easy to navigate and understand highly recommend Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
